Terminology• Bow - The front of the ship is called
the bow. Defining the front from the back is necessary for defining the two other most common sailing terms: port (left of the bow) and starboard (right of the bow).
• Aft - The back of a ship or sailboat; also known as the stern.
• Port - Always the left-hand side of the boat when you are facing the bow.
• Starboard - The right-hand side of the boat when you are facing the bow.
